Info for Patients

There are many resources that provide orthopaedic patients and their families with information about orthopaedic healthcare and muscular, bone and joint conditions, as well as information about getting ready for orthopaedic surgery, living with various forms of orthopaedic challenges, tips for strengthening and preventing musculoskeletal issues and how to make informed decisions about your own orthopaedic healthcare options. Below are some websites our members consider to be good sources, but don’t hesitate to ask your own physician or orthopaedic surgeon, too.
